Wonderful meal at El Gacho. Just glad I was not paying the bill on this one. The 8 ounce filet was outstanding however the wine service started out promising but the pours from the decanter had to be down my us. Not sure how that happened in the private wine room dining space. No worries as the wines were outstanding.
